4 The GNU JavaBeans
™ Activation Framework (JAF) provides a
5 <a href=
"http://www.gnu.org/">Free
</a> implementation of the
6 JavaBeans
™ Activation Framework, version
1.1.
10 JAF links together beans and internet standards for specifying MIME
11 types and how MIME types are processed. It provides a means to associate
12 data of a given MIME type with bean actions operating on that data.
16 <h4>Important files
</h4>
19 Standard
<code>mime.types
</code> files are parsed by the JAF MIME
20 handling classes to work out the MIME types available on the local
25 Standard
<code>mailcap
</code> files (defined in RFC1524) are parsed by
26 mail capability handling classes to work out what beans should be linked
